CMC Talks with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)

CMC recently sat down with Sen. Rand Paul, the junior Republican Senator from Kentucky, and his lead tax and budget staffer to discuss the issues facing the Senate including financial reg reform. CMC emphasized the importance of getting the regulatory balance correct. We talked specifically about margin and capital requirements and international coordination. Sen. Paul was sympathetic and continues to be an advocate for reigning in government overreach. He also speculated that there could be a very interesting lame duck session at the end of 2012 with the ’01 and ’03 tax cuts set to expire on December 31, 2012.
